Laptop Information
While laptops are not required by the College of Law, they are strongly recommended. If you would like to purchase a laptop but are unsure what to buy, the University of Idaho has a partnership with Lenovo, and we have created a storefront with some recommended options for laptop computers. In addition to granting discounts through the University of Idaho storefront, these computers should meet your needs as a student at the College of Law and be suitable machines for taking exams. However, be sure to review the Examplify minimum system requirements before making your purchase to ensure the computer you are buying will work with the exam software. If you have any questions regarding laptop purchases, you can reach out to LawTech.
